Niu Genshan was a bit confused, "Sir, what do you mean by why?"
"I just want to find a relatively peaceful place to rest and recover, why are there always people trying to harm me?"
Niu Genshan became increasingly cautious, looking at Lu Ren sighing long and deep, he couldn’t help but say, "Sir, it’s not about persecuting you, it’s just that they’re interested in that little girl, Erwa, not in you. The Demon King is not interested in men."
"...I know, but I live here."
This Old Niu really can’t speak properly.
Lu Ren raised his hand, as the Ten Lands True Scripture operated, the Ten Earth True Qi wrapped around a strand of his Spirit and condensed at his fingertip, forming a pale golden grain the size of a rice grain.
Niu Genshan’s cow eyes widened at once, he could clearly feel the terrifying Power contained within that light grain.
He dared to guarantee that if this pale golden grain exploded suddenly, it would definitely blast him to nothing.
Kicked an iron plate!
He saw Lu Ren flick his fingertip lightly, and the pale golden grain turned into a ray of light that suddenly plunged into Niu Genshan’s forehead.
Lu Ren said indifferently, "This thing should be able to support you to move within a hundred miles of me. If you go too far, it will just go boom and explode."
"Should?" Niu Genshan was a bit puzzled.
"Well, because it’s my first time using it, so I’m not too sure if this thing really supports around a hundred miles, it may shrink or may even exceed that, you can try it."
Niu Genshan cursed angrily in his heart, but on the surface, he nodded honestly and ingenuously, "Sir, whatever you say."
Lu Ren didn’t care what Niu Genshan thought. If he didn’t want to alert that so-called Demon King Li Mountain, then controlling Niu Genshan was the optimal solution. This is the Buddha Seed Technique from the Real Buddha’s True Scripture, strictly speaking, it is a shortcut technique to lead people into the Buddhist Sect.
But in Lu Ren’s hands, it’s not like that. In his view, planting the Buddha Seed on someone means that person’s life and death will be completely controlled, which is the cruelest and most extreme method of control.
But in the Real Buddha’s True Scripture, it’s described as something noble and grand, which made him a bit disdainful.
Lu Ren withdrew his foot, allowing Niu Genshan to stand up honestly, with a look of being at your command. Although he didn’t know what the other party was thinking, at this level, he wasn’t like ordinary people who couldn’t conceal their emotions and thoughts, letting them dissipate.
But overall, the behavior was satisfactory to Lu Ren, so he didn’t say much, though a bit of scaring needed to be done.
Lu Ren said coldly, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. The seed is planted in your Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, once I sense any bad thoughts, I’ll blow your head off and have a full cow feast."
Niu Genshan was instantly as silent as a cicada in winter, wholeheartedly retracting his thoughts, not daring to think more.
After instructing Niu Genshan to bring a few sets of clothes from outside, as well as some books on local customs for passing time, the other party left honestly.
Watching Niu Genshan’s four hooves swaying three times in one step, Lu Ren shook his head slightly, withdrew his gaze, and no longer paid attention to him. Fınd the newest release on novel•fire.net
This brat was just putting on a show for him.
When Lu Ren leisurely returned to the wooden house, Niu Genshan, after confirming Lu Ren was no longer watching, his four hooves flew swiftly and he bolted away, quickly fleeing from the place as if escaping.
Lu Ren’s mouth twitched but he didn’t say much. As his mind stirred slightly, that Niu Genshan who had galloped more than ten miles away, feeling free and unrestrained, abruptly felt a sharp pain in his forehead.
He groaned in pain, twitching on the ground for a while before swaying his head and standing up wobbly.
Niu Genshan understood in his heart that Lu Ren was giving him a warning, he sighed deeply.
"Why is my life as an Old Niu so full of hardships, such an unfortunate fate!!"
Ignoring Niu Genshan, when Erwa returned hauling a massive gray bear, Lu Ren was indeed a bit surprised.
This Erwa’s Physique and Spirit had progressed rapidly with the Fist Technique training, even silently surpassing an ordinary person’s first Limit Breaking.
This gray bear, almost a Demon, unexpectedly was caught alive by Erwa.
The other party shouldn’t be human after all.
Lu Ren looked at Erwa, who was happily skinning the bear, with an odd expression.
No matter how he explored, even probing Erwa’s body with the Ten Earth True Qi, he still found nothing out of the ordinary.
Definitely not the Demon Niu Genshan mentioned, but a bona fide human.
Could it really be as recorded on the ancient tree, that in certain special environmental conditions, humans with unusual abilities are born?
If these types embark on the Path of Cultivation, their progress is beyond ordinary imagination.
The only thing Lu Ren was certain about was that Erwa’s constitution was truly unique, but whether it was the extraordinary constitution recorded in the ancient texts, he wasn’t sure.
After all, having never seen it, how could he confirm?
"Erwa, do you have a surname?"
Watching Erwa attentively skinning, Lu Ren asked.
Erwa was slightly stunned upon hearing this, stopped her work, and pondered deeply for a while before telling Lu Ren to wait a moment, then ran into a nearby thatched hut.
Inside, she dug out a wooden box wrapped in cloth and ran to Lu Ren.
"This is the stuff my parents left behind, there are some letters inside, but I can’t read."
Lu Ren casually took and slowly opened it, while asking, "You never showed it to your Grandpa Niu?"
Erwa grinned, "Grandpa Niu is too shrewd, I’m afraid if I gave him my letters, I wouldn’t get them back."
Lu Ren was speechless, not knowing whether to say Erwa was clever or that she was naive for being able to easily sense others’ intentions toward her.
Only Lu Ren didn’t care about Erwa, getting along quite well with her.
The characters weren’t hard to recognize, mostly derived from Cangjie’s pictographic characters, somewhat resembling ancient seal script.
Combining the context, he could make out the general meaning.
As Lu Ren read the letter for a long time, Erwa nervously asked, "Uncle, how is it?"
Lu Ren slowly put down the letter, saying with a calm expression, "I’m not very literate either."
"Huh?" Erwa mumbled, "Then why read it for so long."
"Anyway, the main idea is saying to go to some place and live well."
Letting a child of seven or eight live well by themselves...
Lu Ren shook his head speechlessly, not knowing what to think.
Erwa scratched her head, her hair messy and greasy, probably not washed for almost a month.
"Uncle, do you know my surname?"
Lu Ren’s expression turned serious, slowly saying, "It should be Guo."
Erwa was full of confusion, "Can there be such a surname?"
Lu Ren shook his head slightly, picking up a small twig and writing the character for Guo on the ground.
Lu Ren said as he pointed to the signature on the letter.
Erwa took the letter and looked at it for a long time.
"But the character in the letter is different from this, Uncle?!"
"Oh, what I wrote is in Simplified Chinese."
"What’s Simplified Chinese?!"
Erwa seemed a bit overwhelmed, feeling it’s difficult, wondering why people had to invent so many scripts, couldn’t they be unified?
Time passed like flowing water, and in no time, over three months had passed peacefully.
Niu Genshan brought over a large heap of clothes the next day, not only for Lu Ren but also for Guo Erwa to change and wash, along with some weapons and daily necessities.
Lu Ren looked carefully, they were all made of quite good fine steel, Niu Genshan was indeed attentive.
This delighted Guo Erwa for several days, and she earnestly scrubbed layers of dirt off herself in the small river, putting on cowhide boots, leather pants, and leather armor, posing as a Young Hunter.
This surprised Lu Ren for quite a while, realizing that Guo Erwa’s skin was wheat-colored, not black, the black was dirt, just grime!
She was actually pretty and cute, if she grew up, she would indeed be a good-looking girl.
And this Cow Demon had become a double agent.
